English term or phrase: Pon my Sam

Jud said a wicked word. 'Rot 'im, there 'e go again. 'Ow d'you expect for
a man for to ride a blind 'orse. 'Pon my Sam, 'ow d'you expect for a 'orse
for to see where he's going when he can't see nothin'. Tedn't in the nature
o' things. Tedn't 'orse nature.'
'I've always found him very sure,' Ross said. 'Use your own eyes, man. He's uncommonly sensitive to the least touch. Don't force him to hurry, that's the secret.'

Ukridge has a fondness for whiskey and cigars. He tends to address people as "laddie" or "old horse", and his favorite exclamations are "upon my Sam" and "it's a little hard", the latter summing up his view of the treatment life invariably seems to mete out to him, although he remains forever cheerful.
